Combining the director of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – GHOST PROTOCOL with the screenwriter of PROMETHEUS seems like a good way to get the internet’s panties in a bunch.

MI4 helmer Bird is now attached to direct 1952, a top-secret sci-fi project written by Damon Lindelof, who, before PROMETHEUS, was best known as a head writer/executive producer on “Lost”. The project is currently set up at Disney. There are no plot details available as of yet, all we know is that it’s an “epic tentpole” that has multi-platform aspirations.
